A favorite truism of mine is that races in April and May are won in January and February. Most NE winters, that means a fair amount of indoor riding. This winter has been so dry and mild that I haven't even set up the trainer yet. But when I do, I find it easier to break the ride into two. Morning on the trainer & afternoon on rollers for hard days and two roller sessions for easy days.
This week, mid-day responsibilities and good weather had me doing doubles outside. All well and good, except that getting off an indoor bike is as pleasurable as staying on an outdoor one. This became apparent yesterday when I lingered on the morning ride, stretched out the afternoon ride, and then had to eat an early dinner and collapsed early into bed. To be clear, this is an observation and should not be confused with a complaint. I'll save the complaints for Binder & Binder commercials, The General, and anything mention of mesothelioma, structured settlements or diabetes.
Looks like I'll be doubling up again today. Wet snow and temps right on the edge of freezing leads to fingers that can't shift, can't remove soaked clothes and then ache and burn for twenty minutes while they warm up. That's about the only argument I can make in favor of daytime TV.
